I enjoyed this book greatly. It really made me think, as will most of you. I enjoyed the afterlife part, which is based on K. Dick's LSD experience.

A group of people on a weird planet, finding out things aren't what they really are. Hard to tell more, too easy to spoil this great story!

La magia de Dick otra vez con su realidad alterna que nos transporta en un rÃo de suspenso y paranoia, un libro que estudia la naturaleza humana en sus momentos más desesperados. Excelente nos es suficiente para describirlo.

I believe this is one of the books in which PKD shows his sci-fi writing to be incredibly superior than his meanstream writing. The structure is similar to the one of "Ten Little Niggers" of Agatha Christie: a small group of people - each one with a different background - meet in a small planet which is about to be colonized. A satellite orbiting the planet (which is their only way they have to communicate with the outside) is supposed to provide them with all the details about their mission. Unfortunately, this crashes before they could receive any information. Thus, they find their-selves trapped, without knowing what their mission was, and facing an enemy of which they do know nothing. At variance with the Christie book, in which the people trapped cooperate one with another, here the group does not interact rationally; on the contrary, each problem is addressed with anger, suspicion and paranoia. Did the satellite crash on purpose? Are they kept of a giant prison or mental health hospital? Are they part of a sadistic experiment? Are they being punished by an Evil God? Is there (the ultimate doubt) any purpose for them being there? When they will learn the truth, this will appear much worse of each of their suspects.

Not the best PKD I've read (then again I've only read three books, and a few short stories), but still pretty damn good. The ending worked a lot more for me the more I thought about it. Gets pretty crazy at times too.

Each work by this author provides a view of sanity, from the outside. In this work Dick challenges the reader to explain the degenerating madness of what initially seems like a straight-forward narrative. The narrative itself is that of a murder-mystery. Our protagonists are stranded. Why? Why these characters? What is this place, where wishes are granted? Science Fiction at its very best. Addendum: For fans of the television series `Lost' this book is a must read. If PKD were a television script-writer, this would be the script for Lost.
